Nestlé announces François-Xavier Roger stepping down, Anna Manz named as CFO

 

After eight years with Nestlé, François-Xavier Roger, Executive Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer, has decided to step down and to pursue
new professional challenges. François has provided strong financial
leadership and driven sustainable value creation for the company.

 

Anna Manz, currently Chief Financial Officer and a member of the Board for the
London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), will join Nestlé as CFO as soon as she is
released from her present duties. At that time, she will also become a member
of the Executive Board of Nestlé S.A. as an Executive Vice President. To
ensure a smooth transition, François-Xavier Roger will remain in his role
until his successor's arrival.

 

Before LSEG, Anna served as CFO and Executive Director at Johnson Matthey plc,
leading the Strategy, Finance, Procurement and IT functions. Prior to that,
she spent 17 years at Diageo plc in a number of senior roles, including Chief
Strategy Director, CFO of Asia Pacific and Group Treasurer.

 

Mark Schneider, CEO, commented: "On behalf of our Board of Directors and our
Executive Board, I would like to offer our sincere thanks to François. He has
supported us in shaping and implementing our value creation strategy and has
helped steer Nestlé through a very turbulent macro-economic environment over
the last three years. We wish him all the best for his next endeavors. At the
same time, we are thrilled to welcome Anna Manz to Nestlé. Anna has spent her
career growing businesses and improving operational efficiencies. Her deep
knowledge of the consumer goods industry, combined with her extensive
experience across many corporate functions, make her uniquely positioned to
help lead Nestlé into its next phase of value creation."

 

François-Xavier Roger, CFO, commented: "I am very proud to have been part of
Nestlé's remarkable value creation journey. I have had the pleasure to lead a
highly professional finance team, and I feel this is the appropriate time to
hand over my responsibilities. I would like to thank Mark, the Board of
Directors, the Executive Board and my colleagues for their support. I am eager
to ensure a smooth handover to Anna."
